Description
Book SynopsisThe Cambridge Handbook of Religious Epistemology, the first to appear on the topic, introduces the current state of religious epistemology and provides a discussion of fundamental topics related to the epistemology of religious belief. Comprehensive and accessible, it will advance the field for years to come.
Trade Review'This volume of essays is an exciting step forward in religious epistemology. Written by distinguished philosophers from epistemology and philosophy of religion, it covers traditional topics such as faith & reason, natural theology, miracles, and religious experience, as well as newer directions from religious disagreement, religious practices, or debunking arguments, among others; and chapters on Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu epistemologies offer rich insights from specific religious traditions. Highly recommended.' Matthew Benton, Seattle Pacific University
